Question

krystal wanted to make note cards by cutting pieces of paper in half. Before starting she got seven more pieces to use. When she was done she had 28 half pieces of paper. With how many did she start?

Answer 1

She started with 7. You're not given a starting value, but before she began cutting the pieces of paper, she grabbed 7 more. She ended with 28 half sheets. Basically, 7 × 2 = 14. Then, you multiply 14 by 2, which will get you 28 sheets. So she started with 7 sheets.

I hope this helps because I might sound complicated^^
